feijoa and ginger jam * feijoa chutney * dehydrated feijoa * stewed feijoa (for crumbles with apple and rhubarb) * feijoa in smoothies * feijoa in casseroles (either beef or chickpea usually).....and we eat them....then the mandarins are ready! ~Rachael
I made this feijoa coconut loaf last weekendhttp://mrssams.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/feijoa-coconut-loaf/ and it was amazing, and the recipe makes two loaves so there is one in the freezer for a few months time when there is not so much feijoa saturation going on.
I was only introduced to this amazing fruit last year by a friend who had a tree and had never used the fruit. I made a few different variations of jam. One of them I blogged here :
I love fejoas our tree well the neighbours generous overhang has just finished fruiting and it was a delicious time of banana and fejoa bread (divine) and fejoa icecream (to die for!) I also made an apple, fejoa and berry crumble with cream (my husbands favourite). I was sad to see them finish I have 2 left which we will eat as fruit which is the best scooping out the fruit with a spoon divine.
The fejoa icrecream is frozen fejoas about 6 halved with the fruit scooped out frozen then put into a blender straight from the freezer with a tablespoon of plain yogurt and whipped into icecream consistency because fejoas have a bit of a bite flavour wise I add a small amount of frozen banana and a little honey to the blend. Truly delicious!
Sorry, no idea! But just wanted to say 1) love your new cameras shots. they are beaut! and 2) I love that you are giving your kids a childhood where they can pick their own fruit off the ground. That is so special :) x
For the past few years I've been making this cake (http://recipefinder.msn.co.nz/recipes/taste/826674/feijoa-cake-with-crumble-topping. People have asked me for the recipe. It is amazing. A little time consuming but I think worth it.
I was given a delish choc feijoa cake from DPs Nan but lost it, finally after much searching found a similar one but it needs a chocolate ganache that uses sour cream. I have it on my blog.... http://mummas-world.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/chocolate-feijoa-cake.html I also scoop the fruit out and freeze so I can make yummy fruit crumble in winter!
I love feijoa trees, but haven't been so keen on the grittiness of the fruit to eat fresh, so thanks for inspiring all of these people to provide recipes - now maybe I'll actually be able to justify planting a hedge of them!
Scoop em out and freeze em to enjoy feijoa cakes and crumble for a couple of months. I do a mean feijoa crumble, but I'm keen to try something else this year. I'll have a wander through some of the other suggestions :)
Everywhere I turn lately I see reminders of home and it's making me WAY homesick! I saw them at the market here last week...the first time in almost 6 yrs but at $2 a pop I refused to buy any :( I think there is a recipe for feijoa loaf in my Keepsakes cookbook, I can email you the recipe if you like
Chutney!!! and last year I made some feijoa paste (like quince paste) from a recipe out of the NZ gardener, I'll hunt it out for you.

I'm hoping that same tree is productive this year :)
For once we actually left them in the street for free, there for all to help themselves too
